We had a great picnic with the King George Historical Society and the Chamber of Commerce on the 21st of June! It was great sharing the house and property with people who really appreciate the history. I feel terrible that it's taking me so long to post to this blog but time just flies as we work!

We really thought we would be in the house by now but the downstairs bathroom took more time than we anticipated. Charlie is feverishly working to finish the bathroom and install the hot water heater and we hope to be in on the weekend of the 14th. Of course we have an inspection to get through and I'm still painting like a crazy person ! The hard part is seeing all the little things that you know need to be done but aren't on the priority list at all--much less on the top of the list. We've learned not to let ourselves become distracted but it's not easy...

Charlie came up with a great idea to use the bead board we took out of the kitchen and use it as wainscoting in the downstairs bathroom. We decided to paint the wainscoting a dusty sage and paint the wall above it a very pale buttery color. The vanity, toilet, shower, and trim is white---it should be really pretty.

I will say the progress every day is more exciting since it directly pertains to moving in. For example, the inspection is this Monday, the cable guy comes Wednesday, I am painting all week, we get the moving truck on Saturday and move furniture all day, we stay the night there Saturday night, ans then run off to North Carolina to watch Chas play soccer. Wish us luck---it's going
